How can i make my carbon footprint as large as possible?

Asked by mowens (8403points) April 19th, 2010

I feel as though all of these people working to lower their carbon foot print are really counter-acting everything I have been doing all these years. How can I make my carbon footprint as large as possible?

You could:
—stop recycling,
—let the water run while brushing your teeth,
—dispose of your trash directly onto the ground,
—buy extra cleaning supplies and pour them into local waterways,
but the best way would be to do nothing.

Also, I heard that there is a good Carbon Dating website to meet local singles.

Drive a supertanker and own a medium sized dog.

@kevbo a medium sized dog?

@jfos I do drive an suv, and every day when I am done driving I take my left over gasoline and dump it into a river.

hahahaha @jfos Carbon Dating!! hahahahaha

Burn lots of oil and wood. Eat lots of beef and food that comes from far away. Consume loads of things and dispose of them in ways that cause trucks to carry them far away or just burn them to release their toxic gasses right into the air.

Travel by airplane as often as you can. Don’t dump the gas into the river, it’s worse for your carbon footprint to simply burn it. Also, burn your old tires. That’s super carbon releasing. You could dump HALF your car old oil into the river and burn the other half.

Leave all your electric stuff on all the time.

Oh.. gosh.. I should write a booklet!

Burn all your trash, instead of having the garbagemen take it.

Buy a stretch H2 and drive 50 miles for gas.
Turn on every appliance you own.
Burn wood every day.

Where can I learn to drive 2 stretch hummer limos at the same time? Is there a class for that?

Ask for your pay in singles. Then use them as fuel in your outside hibachi to cook your hamburgers.

Turn on your hoses and let them run until you have exhauster the water table.
Make sure your oil tank has a steady leak.

I do hope you are joking.

Buy a tank from overseas (so it has to be shipped in on an oil guzzling plane/boat), fill it with diesel and take it for a spin while eating Heinz Baked Beans and ‘expelling’ a lot of methane..

And don’t forget to cut down as many trees as you can, using an old gas-powered chain saw.

Print everything out single-sided.

Oh I’m joking. I thought it was dripping with satire.

I think this question really digs down to the moral carbon fibers.

Set your Home heating thermostat to a comfy 69 deg F and at the same time, run your home airconditioning with the thermostat set at a comfy 65 deg F.

OMG, I just have to say this is the funniest question I’ve ever seen on here…or almost anywhere. I’m in hysterics here, I especially love:

“every day when I am done driving I take my left over gasoline and dump it into a river.”

I’m gonna have to try that one.

Lightlyseared's avatar

Well if happen to BP then you could… oh!... nevermind.

I’d raise funds th buy rights to the volcano oil well in the Gulf of Mexico and then, once rights were acquired, I would do nothing.
